To determine if your 1995 Geo Prizm has a cold weather package, check the owner's manual for any specific mentions of the package or features related to cold weather enhancements, such as additional insulation or a more powerful heater core. You can also look for a sticker or label under the hood that indicates the presence of a cold weather package. Additionally, inspecting the heater core itself for any modifications or variations in size compared to standard models can provide clues. If in doubt, consult a dealership or a qualified mechanic for confirmation.
Locating on a 1998 prizm - fine idea
The 1996 Geo Prizm heater core is located behind the kick plate on the passenger side of the passenger compartment. The kick plate will need to be removed in order to view the heater core.
The '99 Chevy Prizm has a timing chain, not a timing belt, so it does not need to be replaced.
A good chance you have a faulty heater core
Bad heater core?
